Electronic table games (ETG) developer Interblock has announced the “strategic acquisition” of ETG assets from Aruze Gaming America in what it describes as a significant step forward in its global growth strategy.
According to information released overnight, Interblock plans to integrate Aruze’s reputable ETG product line into its portfolio and expand its workforce to more than 700 employees worldwide. More details on the acquisition will be released as the transaction progresses, Interblock explained.
“The Aruze acquisition creates a significant portfolio of innovative synergies we intend to bring to the market before the end of this calendar year,” said John Connelly, Global CEO of Interblock.
“Aruze Gaming provides us with a new level of diversity we feel will accelerate our vision to make Interblock synonymous with table game technology. As we continue to differentiate ourselves in the gaming industry, this acquisition empowers us to offer a broader range of high-quality, innovative gaming solutions to our valued partners in both a traditional and online offering.”
Interblock said its existing teams will continue to work with customers to “ensure a smooth transition and the continuation of excellent customer service.”
The acquisition of Aruze’s ETGs comes just days after US gaming technology firm Empire Technological Group Limited, operating as Play Synergy, announced it had acquired Aruze’s slot operations, including land-based and online gaming assets.
